I completely agree with adoptionsearchblog2. I am from the "older generation" of middle class teenage mothers who relinquished in the closed adoption era due to societal pressure and shame and the single minded pressure (coercion) from the "family services" agency for me to relinquish my son for adoption. ANYTHING that potentially pressures a pregnant woman to relinquish should be avoided, including "matching" with or living with potential adoptive parents.
